The article on the Morris Minor probably needs to mention the very distinctive and characteristic burbling sound made by the engine when it is on over-run - ie when you take your foot off the throttle while going downhill. I'm not sure where the best place is to mention this.

American Sales

It says in the article the bureaucracy within the Morris company impacted sales in US, how exactly? If the front wings/headlamps were redesigned to comply with US legislation what problems existed with regards to successful sales.

If you consider the VW Beetle and Renault Dauphin sold in reasonable numbers in the US in the 50's/60's what were the internal management problems that prevented the Minor from doing so, as it is in many ways a far better car than them both.
